Power Quality in Electrical Power Systems

Dear Colleagues,

The evolution of the electric power system (EPS) towards smart grids is made possible and accompanied by new achievements using the latest information and communication technologies, together with the diffusion of distributed generation, renewable energy sources, energy storage systems, and Volt/VAR control systems.

Monitoring, maintaining, and improving power quality levels in this evolving scenario is of primary importance to guarantee the necessary compatibility among consumers, producers, and the whole EPS, and this constitutes a fundamental aspect of the overall system performance.

New challenges derive from emissions by new types of devices connected to the distribution network in production or consumption, especially devices with an active power–electronics interface; new smart distribution applications such as Volt/VAR control, feeder reconfiguration, and demand-side management; and increased sensitivity of end-users’ or producers’ modern installation.

We invite submissions exploring cutting-edge research and recent advances in the field of “Power Quality in Electrical Power Systems”, including both theoretical and experimental studies.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
